The Irony never ceases...Analysis of the "Daniel" Book
by riotgirlpeeps inthe latest book being studied in book study is the pay attention to daniel's prophecy book published by the org in 1999. the following is paragraph 31 on page 29. even this testimony is not enough for many bible critics.
after considering this subject thoroughly, one cannot help but wonder if any amount of evidence would be enough to convince them.
one professor at oxford university wrote: nothing is gained by a mere answer to objections, so long as the original prejudice, there cannot be a supernatural prophecy, remains.

And now for something completely different....
by riotgirlpeeps inanyways if anyone has posted a link to this story before i apologize for the duplicate but i hadn't seen this and it made me laugh beyond anything, previously when seeing the information on this story my first guess was it has to be a witness.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,169193,00.htmllong after their mortal forms left this earth, the ghosts of dead prostitutes may be dragged into a florida court.. the owners of church street station (search), an entertainment complex in downtown orlando, are suing a sushi restaurant that broke its lease after claiming its space was haunted..

"a lot of people are corroborating having seen incidents in this location.".

halos in art
by rebel8 inwhen i was a jw, i was taught that other religions actually believed halos were visible.
they said it was a false teaching because the romans wouldn't have needed judas to identify him--he would have been noticed by his halo.
i studied art history in college and learned that halos originated in art, not in church teachings.

Today's Watchtower (July 24th 2005)....
by riotgirlpeeps intodays study article was called "parents, provide for the needs of your family" and had several points i thought that everyone here who hasn't seen it would find of interest (my comments on the statements pulled are highlighted:.
first thought is in paragraph six in reference to providing for the family "indeed, countless fathers shirk thier responsibility, leaving their family in the lurch.
christain husbands do not share that hard-hearted, casual view of providing for thier own.

Mental Health Help and Congregational Support....
by riotgirlpeeps inso part of my past and history is this, at the age of 5 my brother and i went to live with my moms best friend, and my sisters went to live elsewhere, my parents had both had mental breakdowns.. my dad was getting treatment for his depression and the elders came to visit him.
the actually told him that they were there to get him out, he refused because he knew he needed the help.. this is 20+ years ago now, and my family was one of the "bad" ones in the hall for that reason, among other things.
i know now the society has changed its stance in some watchtowers mentioning that sometimes outside help is needed though there is still a huge stigma when people learn you have sought help, at least around where i live.. the ironic thing is my parents went to therapy for years as well, and when one of my sisters went to therapy and became stronger, she left the jw's my parents still blame that pyschologist.
